  • 2-3 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
For the salad
  • 1/2 cucumber, seeds removed and thinly sliced
  • 1 cup shredded carrots
  • 1 cup shredded purple cabbage
  • 1 red pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh mint
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 green onions, sliced thin
For the peanut dressing

  • juice of one lime
  • 3 tbsp warm water
  • 3 tbsp tamari
  • 1 1/2 inch knob of ginger grated
  • 3 cloves garlic grated
  • 1 1/2 tbsp sambal chili paste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook the noodles according to package directions and then rinse with cold water to cool. Set aside.
  2. Saute the tofu in a pan with 1-2 tbsp olive oil until golden, about 5-10 minutes. Finish with a splash or two of tamari.
  3. Make the dressing by whisking together all of the dressing ingredients and set aside. Use 1 tbsp warm or hot water as needed to loosen the dressing.
  4. Toss the noodles with the veggies, dressing and top with the cooked tofu. Add extra green onions and more lime juice if desired.

Notes

  • If tofu isn't for you, try your own favourite protein as a salad topper!
  • For meal prep, just add all of the ingredients to a container, store in the fridge BUT don't mix together until ready to eat.
